EKKI held its 2025 General Assembly, online, on December 4. The partners reflected on the agency's trajectory and considered it a milestone to have connected the EKKI repertoire to the CIS-Net network.
Obtaining international codes, registering and modifying works, controlling authorship percentages... all this can now be done quickly and conveniently on the member portal hosted on the EKKI website.
CIS-Net has a global reach:
CISAC has published its Annual Report 2025, presenting the advances made in protecting the rights of creators, modernizing data systems, and advocating for fair compensation in a rapidly evolving digital landscape.
EKKI has joined CIS-Net, and soon the authors and rights holders will be able to enjoy an easy-to-use and internationally standardized environment for the collection of intellectual property rights.
But that is not all. The report addresses various issues.
We already warned when we debated this at Gutun Zuria 2024: AI is made up of traces of copyrighted works, and that world must be subject to the control of the authors. GEMA is taking legal action against Suno Inc., an American provider of AI-generated audio content. It is accusing the company of processing protected recordings of world-famous songs from GEMA's repertoire in the tool without paying remuneration. In numerous cases, the AI tool generated audio content that is confusingly similar to the original songs.
